Starting TTC - OV, 2WW, cycles etc
Hi to all!
We are going to start TTC in a couple of weeks and I'm SOOO EXCITED!
I just have some questions. Here's my situation:
Came off Cerazette 1st July
Had first bleed from yesterday (16th Aug) - this is the first sign of any bleeding so I don't know if this is withdrawal or a 'real' period. It's as heavy as a real one but not too painful which is not like normal ('normal' being 1 year ago pre-Cerazette)
So my questions are:
What's the best way to know when to BD - is to to use OPKs, to BD in about 10-14 days time (based on a 28-day cycle) or to monitor CM?
and
How will I know when to test if my OV dates are unclear? I won't know if I've missed a period as I don't know my cycles ...
If any of you lovely ladies could tell me what you think that would be great

It depends on how in depth you want to go with it all whether you want to go with OPK's or just monitor your body. I temp (using fertility friend)and use OPK's, but i know some ladies would find it too stressful.
For the first month, i would BD every other day, and if AF doesn't show up, then test in 4 or 5 weeks. If you catch it great, if not you'll know, with a bit more certainty, your cycle lengths and can go from there.
If you're still unsure about anything, let us know.
Good luck and babydust

then went on to have a 6week+ cycle. Got my bfp yesterday! i used the opks but ended up missing ov with them - they can be quite confusing. luckily i still caught the egg! if u can manage it i would just bd every other day and look out for the ewcm that u will get just before u ov.
good luck.xx
